Teenagers who take vows to hold off sex until marriage don’t actually follow through with those vows. In addition, they are also less likely to use a condom or birth control, according to a federal study.

In the study done they have found that more than half of all teens become sexually active whether they have taken vows to wait until marriage before sex. The study shows the that non-pledgers are more likely to use protection, whereas the pledged counterparts are not. The reason for this could be the fact they haven’t been exposed to as much sexual education due to their religious backgrounds, therefore they are less educated on the proper precautions to take whilst engaging is sexual activities.

This study was done to see exactly how effective abstinence programs really are. According to reports, the new administration might actually reconsider spending so much money on these programs after such lackluster findings on their effectiveness.

William Balfour charged in Hudson murders

William Balfour has been charged for the murders of actress-singer Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew. William Balfour is the brother-in-law of Hudson, who has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion. Balfour was arrested on a parole violation in late October after the bodies of both Hudson’s mother and brother were discovered in their Chicago home. No less than a week later the body of her nephew, Julian King, in a back of a SUV.

Balfour’s lawyer Josh Kutnick persistently denies that his client had any involvement in the murder of Hudson’s family stating “The delay between the crimes and his actual arrest show weaknesses in the case,” Kutnick told people magazine. “This case is not a strong case against William. He is a convenient suspect.”

Guess well all have to see how this plays out.

Say what!? Seth Mcfarlane named the smartest person on TV

Yep, it’s true. He was named the “smartest person in tv” by Entertainment Weekly’s list of the 25 smartest people on television. Him being the smartest simply because he has been able to not only turn his “Family Guy” success into another show, “American Dad”, but becuase he’s able to take his success and grow upon it. Entertainment Weekly estimates his empire has grossed a whopping $1 billion in sales, on top of him being the television’s highest paid writer. Even on top of all that he’s still not done growing, he has plans to make a spinoff of the family guy series entitled “The Cleveland Show.”

Bio-Terror by 2013?

According to a blue-ribbon panel assembled by Congress, we are likely to see a biological terrorist attack somewhere in the world by 2013.

“The consequences of a biological attack are almost beyond comprehension. It would be 9/11 times 10 or a hundred in terms of the number of people who would be killed,” former Sen. Bob Graham said.

For example, the Flu virus that wiped out millions of people in 1918 for example.

Well all I can say is…an apple a day..keep ya health up.

Are you clean? (You might be less judgemental)

If so, studies show that you are less likely to judge someone harshly, says a new study by psychologist Simon Schnall of the University of Plymouth in England. According to his studies, to paraphrase, if you were juror in a criminal proceeding and you washed your hands right before delivering the verdict, you would judge to the criminal less harshly, than if you had not washed them. Finally, Schnall goes on to add that “someone may find it easier to overlook a political misdemeanor had they performed an action that made them feel ‘clean’ prior to casting their vote.” So I guess if you plan on being guilty for something then I suggest you start carrying a bottle of Germ-X!
